Kirislin Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 thanks all for looking, I'm glad you like it. I thought it was pretty funny when I saw it too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 OMG! Cuteness overload! Are these the 3 siblings? Looks like they are really thrilled at being together again... *grin* T. I dont think they're related, it might have even been the first time they met, but they sure had fun. IG's and Whippets get really happy when they see dogs that look like them. Yes, same with tibbies. It's really delightful to see, isn't it! The pic is gorgeous...I hear music when I look at it! Sooo disco Vizslas are the same. Gravitate to each other. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it's natural to be attracted to and identify with your own kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 In the wild, sticking with your own is also necessary for survival... *grin* My Lab, Trouble, will happily play with others because she's a tart of the enth degree - but she gets really excited if she comes across another Lab to play with. Harper the Horse Puppy seems to prefer the teeny tinies to play with, but because she's huge, their owners aren't too sure about the idea. She is SO gentle with the littlies though! Her bestie when she was younger was all of 3kgs, and they could play for hours, then curl up together for a power nap, then play for ages more. T.

HazyWal Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) With racing greyhounds that's often the only other dogs they ever see are other greyhounds. Maddie doesn't like other dogs at all except greys. Edited October 19, 2014 by HazyWal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Maybe instinct plays a bigger part in dog behaviour than we think... maybe we need to remember that they are dogs, and not pseudo-humans like some of the do-gooders want us to believe (or try to make them be)...

See I never get this :/ We're talking about domesticated dogs recognising their own kind. There's a lot of evolutionary processes that relate to survival still dominant in us humans. A huge amount of our social behaviour, for example, as the evolutionary psychologists tell us. It'd be the same with dogs. Domestication doesn't wipe out Nature ...

Even though our dogs are fed on a regular basis, they still have prey drive. Some dogs more than others. Even Stanley has prey drive, although the evil genius has used his prey drive to learn how to open cupboards and fridges. Why chase when it is already caught and stored.
